The Castle and the Gas Station Restroom - Don't know which was more interesting

The drive from Garmisch back through Austria did not disappoint. One of our first stops was to look at the golf course - first one we have seen on our trip. Don't have to worry about hitting into the woods. And check out the pro shop. They grow flowers on the top.

nice flat course


The Alpsee

View on the walk up


What a view

No wonder that Walt Disney thought Cinderella could live here

Trying to cool down waiting for the sun to set so we could go to be in our unairconditioned family room


Emma's new sleepmate - a German doll


Sue, our navigator. After 4.5 hours of driving on the autobahn, I was worn out. There's no describing the attention level required to keep from getting run over. When you look up in your rearview mirror and see four circles on the grill or an upside peace sign on the hood of the car behind you, you'd better haul booty and get out of their way. You know you're going to be rocked as they pass you.

I also figured out quickly that at least 130 km/hour is required to stay in the middle lane. I tried to stay there to get us home safely.


And finally .... Emma's fascination with the various toilets of the world. She was so excited after dropping in her 50 cent Euro coin in the slot to find a clean restroom. Click on the play button to begin.

We're heading out from Charleston in a rental car this morning. Will hopefully make it to the Hippie Hotel Chelsea tonight and stay with the Gallaspys before arriving back in Brandon tomorrow.
